USPGA Draw

Over the last week a lot of people have moaned about the coverage of the last Major of 2018, no golf on Sky sports or BBC. The USPGA was streamed by a company called eleven sports, but what a finish to another Major. Tiger shooting 64 on the last day; his lowest final round score in a Major but it wasn’t good enough as he finished two shots behind Brooks Koepka who has won his second Major of the season.

The atmosphere must have been amazing with thousands watching Tiger, hoping he could pull it off and win his 15th Major. But away from Tiger, Brooks Koepka is a golfing machine, he has no weakness in his game drives it straight and over 300 yards every time and when he gets on the green from 15ft he rarely misses.

I think he has plenty more Majors in his locker and it won’t be long before he is number one in the world. The winner of the Pro’s USPGA draw was Steve Tattersfield with 43 points, closely followed by our club captain Alister Williams on 47 points.

Competition news

Past President’s Trophy

A great result for Bob Smith and playing partner Henry Martin on winning this event with a 59, beating the ‘odd couple’ Bill Hunter and Ken Woolford on the back nine.

Bob signed up to my 12-month coaching package and over the last few months he has shot some good scores in various team events but has struggled to put it altogether on a weekend; but not anymore and hopefully from this he can go on and win an individual event before the season ends well done Bob.
Poor Ken I think this year he will be known as the Bridesmaid, finishing runner up twice in Major club competitions and once in a senior’s pairs event, just keep going Ken a win will come eventually.

Product spotlight

Arriving soon: TaylorMade GAPR

TaylorMade has always been an innovative company, coming up with some fantastic ideas such as Twist Face and SLDR. Arriving in-store mid-September is the latest on their conveyor belt in GAPR. Designed to bridge the gap between your longest playable iron and your shortest metalwood, there are three GAPR options (Hi, Mid and Lo) that are set to take the market by storm.

Here, there and everywhere

We are faced with a whole range of scenarios out on the course, some of which we practice regularly and others that we don’t. When you consider the different types of shots you hit around the greens, it really does highlight how versatile your wedges need to be.

Versatility is key
We ask a lot from our wedges, from opening up the face to hit high lob/flop shots to moving the ball back in our stance to play low flying pitches and everything in between. It’s therefore obvious that you should be playing something you’re comfortable with from any spot around the greens.

If you’re yet to find that wedge, come and try the TaylorMade Milled Grind Hi-Toe here in the shop. It now comes in lots of lofts so we can discuss your bag make-up, plus we can test the different options to see which ones best suit the shots you like to play.

And the award goes to...

Always trying to raise the bar on previous models isn’t an easy job, but it’s for this reason that technology has advanced considerably in the past few years. It means we’ve never been in a better position to help you enjoy your golf, from drivers right through to shoes.

Come and see what all the fuss is about
This award-winning FootJoy Tour-S shoe has been recognised for the highly stable platform its PowerPlate outsole provides, while still being lightweight and comfortable straight out of the box.

If you try these on you’ll enjoy the precise fit, underfoot comfort and the feel of FootJoy’s Premium Performance Leather.

We think it’s obvious why this shoe was selected as one of the best of the year, but to see if you agree, drop by the store.
